I was just thinking about the good old days and the players we had, when I came to the realization that if there was one team in the 90s with the best players, it was the Rockets. The bulls had Jordan and Scottie but that was it. If you take each teams best possible lineup of players that played for them in the 90s the rockets win hands down. IMAGINE??? Francis Drexler Pippen Barkley Dream Think of if they all would have wound up on one team together in their relative primes, now think of the current rockets roster and sigh heavily..... and shake your head.
that Laker team could put together a bench of Eddie Jones, Glen Rice, Vlade Divac, Elden Campbell, and Nick Van Exel behind it, too.
thats a great point, houston does have one of the best teams of players in the 90's. Francis Drexler Pippen Barkley Olajawon Mobley Maxwell Cassell Horry Thorpe
How 'bout the Golden State Warriors? C Webber PF Mullin SF Sprewell SG Richmond PG Hardaway Bench: Gatling Marciulionis Jamison Joe Smith Hughes Richardson Obviously, position-wise it doesn't quite work out, but the amount of talent that passed through the GSW should have made them a better team at some point.
Didn't Washington have Rasheed? Webber? Richmond? Rasheed Webber Howard (his prime) Richmond Strickland Those players in their Washington primes, were super, right?
the 90's warriors teams were SICK. that front office might just rival the clippers for stupidity. but oh yeah, they DO get a good shot at the #1 this year...what genius!!
I thought Francis was part of the 2000 draft class? Maybe 99, but that'd mean he'd only have been playing for 2 months as a Rocket in the "90's". Does that still count?
if you thought their front office was bad, how about those trainers??? can someone please keep anyone healthy for more than 5 consecutive games!!??
Charlotte Hornets: C Mourning PF Larry Johnson (before back injury) SF Rice SG Jamal Mashburn PG Baron Davis Bench: Eddie Jones Kendall Gill PJ Brown Derrick Coleman Elden Campbell Vlade Divac Anthony Mason This is mostly a testament to their constant turnover, though. The injuries killed them, too.
